[@TheAlexisQ]

Wow D Koy improved, big up to him! Nice battle

[@bostonbeatbox6694]

He really has! He was always great, but World Beatbox Camp definitely leveled him up and then some.

[@elated6865]

Absolutely insane, this battle was perfect!

[@tinakirby6359]

inertia changing the pitch of his inward bass is the best beatbox sound effect ever, its way to far away from a sound a human should be able to make.

[@ohsnapitztino]

5:33 Inertia hits a 16th measure with his inward throat bass. Fucking Gnarly!

[@TmixOne]

6:47 Inertia won this battle. Napom voted for Inertia

[@muggi1092]

Sick Battle!

[@Crispyy]

I’m not sure if inertia did it on purpose... but dude that split second change of rhythm at 5:48 is insane

[@Crispyy]

at like 5:48-5:49 while he’s doing the inward bass he goes (ba ba ba ba burrrrr) the burrr part is sick

[@giorgiiremashvili7725]

@@Crispyy yea I know that, I got amazed with that kind of scratch, its not scratch but it actually was sick

[@Crispyy]

Giorgi Iremashvili right!! It’s so sick actually

[@viIuyy]

He's using tongue bass and it's pretty easy to change rhythm, but his bass and transitioning is very clean, making it exponentially better.

[@smashinghighlevelufcplayer2223]

inertia clearly won this lol

[@brainsoff_9210]

We can t do nothing for him now.....

[@stevenyanez4003]

Nah

[@yunusbbx8497]

D-koy clearly had more stage presence and better crowd control.

[@fabioccc8855]

yes cause stage presence and crowd control has to do with skill

[@yunusbbx8497]

FabioCCC they count as one of biggest things to do/have.

[@edvinsand4107]

Inertia's second round defienetly is in my top 3 inward bass drops.

watching this in 2024 with bass boosted sounds wild

[@marcgallardocuni6848]

Inertia the king of inward bass

[@brahaa]

[@zvd2889]

D-Koy out here killing it! Big up homie!

[@VoIIIka]

I cant understand. Why they went overtime when it was 4(draw)-1(Inertia)?

[@fabioccc8855]

wait wtf i just noticed that

[@marcoowliveira49]

Yeah, wtf

Crazy

[@ResetYT]

Right, Can we just take a second to appreciate how much weight that Inertia has lost, he's killing it!

[@gamenallday9785]

Nice D-Koy good win

[@Hvitkols]

great battle! D koy rly nice flow

[@gagecantrell4494]

For everyone saying inertia should of one. Here’s why he lost Dkoy first round 8 Inertia first round 6 Dkoy second round 8 Inertia second round 9 You have to take in mind both rounds, you have to show yourself 100% both rounds.

[@mattfreak1206]

dkoy lacks power and cleanliness in all rounds....

[@drakathchaos123]

Matthew Gultom but his stage presence makes up for it

[@Prankpokephase2]

Should have won* Should’ve won*

[@felixschneider1398]

@@Prankpokephase2 that made me so fuckin angry thanks hahaja

[@dunstanchecksin6005]

What a sound quality, wish gbb21 was like that!

[@tantriz1701]

Honestly I disagree with this one. D-koy is fucking sick, but inertia came at it with more flow and diversity. He repeated inward bass multiple times yes, but obviously it was done differently. D-Koy doesn’t have a lot of power on stage compared to inertia, BUT D-Koy’s whistles were fucking sick no lie. It just seems like D-Koy doesn’t have as much live battling experience. Let me know what you guys think, anyway that was a sick battle, MAXIMUM RESPECT for D-Koy and BIG UPS to inertia. Love you guys❤️

[@albantarazhi9468]

TanTriZ My exact thoughts

[@TheSpiritofBeatbox]

For me Dkoy takes it clearly. He appears more vital and creative.

[@nryildiz690]

The Spirit of Beatbox Nah inertia had better second round and bonus round so he souldve won..

[@TheSpiritofBeatbox]

His dropp was impressive yes

[@TheSpiritofBeatbox]

Yes, you are right!

[@Imperiafuck]

The cameras are literally vibrating from his bass!!!

[@ThDvil-ey4bn]

7:30 was so difficult to watch he was so broken he started to try and add bass like the other dude does as people cheer out of pity 😂😭

[@dunstanchecksin6005]

Na it was actually very nice to hear the way it climaxed. And he won!

[@humanbean3]

Yeah I have no freaking clue how that won lol

[@thirdgenerationanamoly6410]

Not a bad battle at all

[@IpwnUfirst]

Man that was tight! Not all in, but really tight. Big up!

[@ctbcreative]

Here's why D-Koy won....and why you disagree with the decision: Lets start with why he won: Complete Package. D-Koy brought it all and then some in this battle. What do i mean? Well lets start by saying both have great structure and flow. That goes without question. But D-Koy was diverse in his structure and flow as well as sound usage and placement. Details matter more than any sick drop. In D-Koy's first round he played with the flow like a puppet on a string. Even using silence to fill in the place of snares to add a sense of delay and off time...while staying completely on time (1:05). He manipulated his flow with much more diversity, and was incredibly creative with his usage of under used techniques such as the dragged duck sound, his use of pops and his ta ka de gle structure was so solid that he was able to literally make a quick combination of simple vocalized "words" to sound sick. And thats just his first round. D-Koy's second round was such a unique and swaggy way to use chest bass and whistles that we dont usually hear. He took his time, didnt just rush in balls to the wall and hope it was enough. Listen to how he intentionally started very stripped down and vulnerable with the whistle to set the atmosphere at 3:30 before going into the style of beat that you just cant help but smile and move your body to while utilizing a solid chest bass and the whistle to continue the atmosphere he already set at the beginning of the round (3:38), while adding an additional punch. Not to mention his stage presence (in both rounds) was much better than Inertia's. He absolutely out performed him and owned the stage. HE EVEN MADE A MISTAKE INTO A TRANSITION CLEANER THAN MOST PLANNED FLOW TRANSITIONS! At 4:25 he CLEARLY missed a sound but used that as a pause to switch flow while keeping tempo....which allowed him to almost completely hide his mistake and allow for him to show more diversity. Now onto why you think Inertia should have won: Crazy tech and sick drops right? Beatboxing isnt all about that. Inertia has the street cred and has a certain reputation, so alot of you may be upset he lost and think he should have won due to the bias you have as someone who is a fan of his. You can be a fan of someone and still judge them objectively. It isnt easy but with practice we can all do it. After this i will explain why Inertia lost, dont get upset, instead, listen back to his rounds and look for what i pointed out (do the same for D-Koy) and truly evaluate what he did before you say that D-Koy should have lost. But hear me out. Inertia is dope, but he sounded mostly the same except for his hype drop in his second round. His flows were very similar in each round, trap...but even trap in essentially the same tempo. And we all can see that he relied alot on inward bass and trap flows. Both rounds either started trap or ended trap. He lacked in diversity in flow and sound. Now the overtime. You may not think it...but Inertia hand fed D-Koy the win in the OT by doing yet another trap flow and then rushing to do a fast beat when there was 10sec left. D-Koy took his time and vibed the entirety of his OT round. He didnt rush when his time was almost up, paced himself and kept the vibe while still showing a great sound pallet. Overall the battle was insane and i agree wholeheartedly with the decision. I know regardless of what i say there will be those that disagree. And that is fine. We all have our thoughts and opinions and growth is formed by communication. So let me know what you think about what i had to say, and let me know what you had to say.

[@dkoybeatbox]

Jesus, you put too much effort in to defend me, man. Thank you though :)

[@StrikerX67]

Honestly nobody is going to read this. And honestly there is no reason to write this. Especially when you suck at beatboxing anyway

[@ctbcreative]

Nice bait Striker lol. If i sucked i wouldnt have made top 4 at this event lol gg

[@StrikerX67]

"nice bait" lets reply I think you are missing the point

[@kennethgingco7155]

Then why you lost to INERTIA, HAHAH

Does Inertia Hold inward bass sounds (sustain) or is that outward?

Good one but inertia won in my opinion but still good battle probly this one will be the best battle that happened there going to be better then the finals

[@yohanneludwigquezon1671]

lmao back when dkoy had no crazy whistles

[@yart1z]

5:40 abso win.

[@mertkuyucu7546]

Inertia perfect

[@LesBondIT]

It pisses me off how during inertia's rounds D koy has to mimic everything intertia does 😂 we get it, you can beatbox too, that's why you're on that stage smh

I think that's usual. Like trying the sound out in the moment to see if you can respond to that or not. I don't mind it.

[@chimkon6436]

excuse me inertia, are u human?/

[@JamesETHD]

That should have been a win for inertia in my opinion

[@cdcspicey5150]

TBF Dkoy is not that bad and Inertia isn't so mad about it they had fun with it

[@yukitukijo]

inertia won

[@spectrax-pumanoide]

..........................ight

sounds good d koy remind me basubeat :D

I’m surprised how the judges made the decision, inertia killed it

[@thorlogan4257]

Inertia is a freaking beast....my man big talent

[@Teelit]

D-koy looks like Villain's brother...

[@valmiri6868]

Have inertia ever lost?

[@ДмитрийИванов-щ3ф9э]

looks like inertia was nervous a little bit

[@Edvinn2000]

D Koy DAGADIIIII? destroyed 1 round

[@Cheebusal]

How in Sam fuck did D-Koy win? Damn. This is upsetting. Well done by D-Koy, but I don't see it the same way as the judges on this one. I think he won because his extra round sounded like mark Martin.

[@chocolateflavoredducks3414]

Cheebusal kinda have to disagree with you . If we’re talking just about overtime , inertia has almost 0 structure whereas D Koy had a more solid structure and flow that actually made sense .

[@Cheebusal]

I can see that, but I wasn't referring to the overtime itself. i was meaning that there shuoldn't have been an overtime in the first place.

[@chocolateflavoredducks3414]

well I personally thought that the 1st round wasn't anything impressive from both of them but then D-Koy brought those laser that even Ball-Zee would be proud of then Inertia countered with the same old inward bass drop that he does but he built it up in a way where it was just irresistible. I'm fairly certain a overtime was sensible.

[@SecRS96]

4:05 Some brain error WAVE at the background!!! :D

[@DC_0298]

If nApOm votes for u u automatically win idc 😐 the second inertia did 5:54 he ruined him ruined him i tell ya

I have no idea what in the world made D koy win this round. Inertia clearly smashed it....shit judging.....
